The 5th of June once again was the first Thursday of the month - thus, the vienniese Palm User Group met in the Pizza Plus pizzeria in the outer districts of Vienna. We chose this location once again after meeting in the Salzberg for a few times as the food is better and the staff is friendlier - the free WiFi no longer is an issue now that almost everyone of us has GPRS internet.

I arrived a bit late - and found the user group assembled around the table where we usually sit:

The Nokia N71 was passed around and examined - the main point of critique was that the lid couldn’t be opened with just one hand:

Apparently, photographing a Nokia device next to a Palm device isn’t too popular among Palm users - my attempts were sabotaged all the time(=|):

Our Treo modder improved his Treo 650 even more by adding bands of tissue to its back. These bands allow you to type on the Treo while it lays on a table without the machine toppling over; it additionally improves grip:

His wife’s Tungsten C wasn’t safe either - it got a MiniUSB jack for charging and syncing, and also received a reset hole that can be operated with the stylus tip:

A 8GB memory card was available, too - but my Palm TX wasn’t too impressed with it(no reaction):

Last but not least, a few gadgets(including a GPS mouse) were available “for sale” - more on that GPS mouse soon!

Overall, I definitely enjoyed staying at the Palm User Group, and will be there again in September! What about sending us a meeting report from your PUG?
